Diana’s funeral is probably the most dramatic thing I have ever seen. The depth of sorrow and grief, the disbelief, the simmering anger towards the royals, and the feeling of helplessness for her two boys, who have both grown into fine young men with families of their own, and very much in the mould of their mother.

William too, but for better or worse, this is what the British do at funerals. It's very common to have the family or other close loved ones follow the hearse walking in this manner. That's what a lot of people don't understand - they think the royals did this out of nowhere, but it's what any British son might do at their mother's funeral. Not saying that makes it the right choice, just saying it does make it slightly less cold in my view. They weren't doing it from a place of wanting the boys on show but rather out of the feeling that they may regret not doing for their mother what sons typically would do in normal circumstances.

Charles Spencer, you did an amazing job giving the eulogy for your sister. Much like your sister a coward you are not, brave beyond words. I can not imagine the strength it took to deliver a speech like this. Your sister’s death was such a tragedy! In the midst of all you went through, you summed up your sister’s life, with such grace. No Brother or son that I know of, could have pressed on as you did that day. Your sister would have been so proud & grateful to you, for your strength and the care of her son’s. You are by no means common, but true royalty, noble and virtuous. In a world, where common sense is rare. I am deeply saddened for you & your family, for the loss of your beautiful sister Diana. I can not express in words my greatest sympathies for you as well as your family. I wish for you love and peace, that transcends time and space. I have no doubt that one day you will be reunited, with your sister in heaven. In heaven I imagine Diana with a crown of jewels around her head, and a Mansion so big. Filled with peace and love for all she gave to this world, Her Mansion will be surrounded in a sea of flowers similar to the sea of flowers around the palace after her passing. I wish nothing but peace for you & your family, all the days of your life. Until you meet again.

Seriously what I felt with my dad being burried in the noon of 31st of December because we don't want him to worry about us in the new year, we walked more than an hour, everyone is happy everyone is laughing and I felt so helpless that this is the world. The world never bow to other grief over the time they are to be happy and they are privileged to have that happiness. That is more traumatizing for me than the millions of people, to see the smile on the strangers faces on the yuletide season seeing them as we walk, the joy that day promises then over the next year. And that next year I don't have a father, and the hardest part nobody wanted to make it more sad for the relatives so no one spoke for the farewell only me. All I could say is: "Me and behalf of my family is thankful that you all came, we all knew in this time of the year have but it is what it is, my father is dead" I can't say anything but to pound it on my head, and it breaks my heart till this day.

One of the saddest days in British history, if not the saddest. I remember going into the town centre to do a bit of shopping. Normally my wife would have done it but she was literally heart broken sat in front of the TV with a box of tissues on her lap. When I came to the main high street I was dumbfounded by what I saw. This street was usually mad busy with activity but now it looked like a static photograph. All the cars, busses and taxis were completely still as though frozen in time, and there was a strange quietness in the air as people all stood in silence with their heads down. Something of the spirit of Britain died that day and I don't think it ever came back. To those who say it was mass hysteria I say they either don't know what they are talking about or they have a heart of stone. OK so people did not know Diana personally, and the majority had never even met her, but she was our princess. We grew up with her. At least my generation did. I was in my early teens when Charles and Diana announced their engagement and showed off that blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring. Showing the world they were n love: "Whatever 'in-love' means". As our own life journey progressed we followed along with the lives of Charles and Diana. Henry VIII killed his wives because they could not provide him with a son and heir, Diana provided two. All Diana wanted was to be loved. She was a sensitive soul in a cruel world and in the end was crucified. Charles Spencer's speech that day was given to him through the hearts and minds of millions of people sending him their love and thoughts. What he said captured what everyone was thinking and feeling that day. As for myself, I held back for as long as I could. But then, as I watched the hearse carrying the dead body of our princess, driving through the streets of London, I saw a lady throw a bouquet of flowers which it landed on top of the vehicle. And as she through them she let out a scream; "Diana!" Something about that action and that scream caused something inside me to snap. Suddenly, I lost the feeling in my legs and I cried my heart out. I don't think I will ever see or experience anything like that ever again.

[@andyhanrahan2781]

What you've said there very succinctly sums up the feeling in Britain at that time and how most of us felt. I was in that crowd as her coffin came down The Mall with her Sons walking behind, I travelled to work on the Underground the day after she was killed, and felt the unprecedented sombre mood that pervaded everything, and I went and added to that incredible carpet of flowers outside Kensington Palace. I also remember the woman you mentioned, throwing flowers onto the coffin, and her despairing cry. These are images that will be forever etched in my memory, images that contributed to something unlike anything that had ever been experienced before, or since. As you suggested, it was as if the Sun went behind a cloud the day Diana died, and never quite came out again.

[@dellashanker8395]

I can't add anymore to this what you have written is exactly what I felt what I saw. She has left her mark which was much bigger than her title that will never be erased.

@@andyhanrahan2781 Thank you for sharing that memory. Especially as you also heard the cry of despair of that woman who threw the flowers. If someone had asked to me the day before; How would you feel if Diana died tomorrow? If Im honest I probably would have said something like; Well it would be sad but I would not be hear broken. It shows clearly that we can never know how much we value something until it is gone. Even this very day, if I start thinking back to that awful day my heart feels heavy and eyes fill up.

But somebody was talking about how when Diana would be there she would sort of be a bummer and let people know how depressed she was and they made it sound as if she went there to seek attention rather than hanging out with the ladies and having a lovely time....

Charles eulogy for his Beloved Sister , Diana Our Queen Of Hearts, was a beautiful honest and loving tribute to her , No one could have expressed who she was and the truth of her and her life as he did. The sadness and the trauma her sons would have felt is beyond comprehension. I , like Millions upon millions loved her and her two boys so much as she was Such a Special Human being and the love for her extended to her children, I sobbed for her life being cut short and for Harry and William when I watched her funeral and still cry when I see parts of it again on utube, I believe She would have greatly approved of Charles her Brothers words as Diana was such an open courageous Women, She let the world see her truth and She touched all hearts showing her vulnerability. She will always be Remembered and Loved ❤

[@markduncan6868]

I didn’t realize this until recently, when Diana was going through the her divorce, she called her brother and asked could she come back home to live for a while, to get away from all the press. He refused, saying it would cause too many interruptions to him and his family. Had he not been so selfish, she might still be here today. That must be a heavy burden to carry everyday. Knowing you could have done way more.

[@marjet2228]

He has spoken out about it, he does regret it. It probably was just not possible on short notice. The house she asked for was not available, the security was not provided by the royal family, it would have been a huge operation, but in hindsight it is easy to say, that he should have received her at their family estate. That’s the reason she was with Dodi Al Fayed, his father could provide the security. Mohamed El Fayed never realized he could lose his son in the process. Does anyone realize Charles Spencer would have put his family and tenants in danger? Diana was larger then life. It is a shame the royal family or the British secret services didn’t protect her. She was a sitting duck. And I will always wonder if she was killed on purpose. She certainly lost protection on purpose. The whole royal institution is misogynous even though the queen is a woman herself. Diana was à walking womb. She had served her purpose. No one thought about her being a mother to the heir of the throne. Everybody enjoyed seeing her portrait, no one paid the price but Diana and those close to her and those near her in that car in Paris, in the tunnel at Pont de L’Alma. It infuriates millions globally that it made Charles and Camilla’s happiness in the end. It makes you wonder. The was the sacrificial lamb as she expressed it herself. A woman’s role, an outrage to be honest. She wasn’t allowed to be human. So we made an angel out of her.

What a STUPID thing to say! At the end of the day Diana got into a car that was driven by a drunken chauffeur. She wasnt wearing a seat belt, the car crashed and sadly she died! End of

Diana asked Charles Spencer if she could come and stay at Althorp during a difficult time for her. The estate is huge and he wouldn't necessarily have known she was there, but he refused on the grounds there "might be crowds". She would be alive today if he had allowed it.

[@bloodyfitnerd1947]

She might have been alive. I'm sure the Queen and Prince phillip would have found other ways to murder Diana.

I so agree! She would have been alive had her brother aloud it, but Charles wanted to marry Cowmilla, other motives & plots to murder her would have surfaced

[@janismarierawlins8805]

I was upset with Diana's brother for a very long time for not allowing his sister to stay at the family estate when she needed him and her ancestral home for comfort and protection, she just wanted that sense of family that she hoped she would receive from him her brother, but he turned her away because he didn't want the hassle of the photographers scrambling about on His estate! That made me very sad for Diana and her boys as well, this is quit possibly the reason he dose not see his nephews much! She might be alive today if he would have shown a little compassion for her...I wonder if this ever crosses his mind!?!

[@MandyJMaddison]

What you have just said sounds disagreeable of him... given that Althorp is a very big house. But that is not what Diana asked for. On the estate, there are houses, fields, forests and villages. Diana wanted a particular large historic farmhouse which had a family in it that was farming the land around it. The Earl said no.

There is no accounting for loss.

You folk need to show pity, not scorn for that man.

@@angelamarial.6851 we are only victims, if we allow ourself to be victimised ... Diana did speak up. Do you really in your heart believe that the queen would sanction the murder of a woman that she was godmother to and had known all her life .... without also being the mother of her two grandsons .... Diana was with the wrong people at the wrong time. People divorce all the time, perhaps Diana should have lived up to her responsibility of being the mother of the future king, when making her choices in forging her life as a single woman again.

[@juanitarichards1074]

Would you want the media circus around your children 24/7? And the house Diana wanted on the estate was a large one that had a tenant famer and his wife and children living there. The Early would have had to evict them. They had been there for years and were farming the land that went with the house. Two sides to every story.......

Dear Charles. Your words rip the heart right out of my chest. You remind me of when I was 13 years old and I followed my mom's coffin from the church to the graveyard. The difference is I wanted too. Were anyone try to stop me well that would be unforgivable. I overheard a man say This is too much for that child but I thought at the time where else would I be but to see my mom to her grave. But what I saw there took 3 years for that nightmare grief and horror to subside so the man was right after all.
